About

IFECtiv is an independent advisory firm focused on inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) decisions and investments whose consequences persist long after technical choices are made. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and founded in 2021 by Corinne Streichert, IFECtiv works with airline leaders, suppliers, investors, and professional services firms tasked with navigating IFEC’s complex intersection of technology, economics, and customer outcomes.

In markets where IFEC platform and connectivity choices shape fleet economics, supplier dynamics, and passenger experience signals over years rather than months, conventional analysis and internal alignment alone are not enough. IFECtiv’s advisory lens focuses on judgment under uncertainty, helping stakeholders clarify risk, interpret long-term implications, and avoid costly missteps before commitments are made.

Leadership & Domain Credibility

IFECtiv was founded by Corinne Streichert, a multi-award-winning IFEC leader with more than 20 years of experience shaping in-flight entertainment and connectivity across airlines, suppliers, and technology ecosystems. She has led global IFEC programs at United Airlines, delivering industry-recognized innovation, and earlier in her career received an innovation award for her work at Qantas Airways in 2005. Since 2019, Corinne has contributed as a judge for the Crystal Cabin Awards, the only international program recognizing aircraft interiors innovation. Her work reflects a deep understanding of IFEC as an integral part of the passenger experience, viewed as a cohesive system that spans technical architecture, commercial strategy, and organizational execution.

How IFECtiv Engages

IFECtiv’s work spans structured advisory engagements and targeted execution support:

  • Advisory — Confidential judgment support for IFEC decisions that involve long-lived investments, contractual exposure, and strategic choice under constraint.

  • Execution Support — Defined, project-based engagement aligned to fixed scope and outputs where continuity of judgment matters across implementation phases.

Who We Serve

IFECtiv’s advisory perspective is tailored for:

  • Airline leadership and program owners facing complex platform, connectivity, and deployment decisions.

  • Suppliers and OEM leadership teams seeking independent context on market priorities and risk exposure.

  • Investors and professional advisory firms requiring domain expertise to interpret long-term implications of IFEC exposure.

Independent Perspectives & Insights

IFECtiv contributes to industry discourse through published commentary, moderated sessions, and the On Your Flight Today podcast. Rather than reiterating conventional narratives, this work focuses on interpretation of outcomes, methodological rigor, and evidence-based thinking about IFEC’s evolving role in aviation and passenger outcomes.

Passenger Experience as Evidence, Not Deliverable

Passenger experience is not treated as a standalone service. It is the observable outcome of decisions and investments that unfold over time. IFECtiv examines these outcome signals to inform present choices, connecting what happened with how, why, and what next. This approach ensures that analytics and insight are rooted in real-world impact rather than theoretical design.

Why This Matters

Making confident choices in IFEC today reduces exposure to the postponed costs, contract lock-in, and customer perception gaps that can shape an airline’s reputation and financial trajectory for years. IFECtiv’s advisory role is to ensure that stakeholders understand these implications and act with clarity.

IFECtiv exists for situations where reassurance is unhelpful and justification is too late. Our role is to provide accurate, independent judgment grounded in IFEC reality.
